Founder of SmartBug Media®, Ryan Malone, Named a ‘Best CEO’ by Comparably

SmartBug Media® a leading Intelligent Inbound® marketing agency that assists businesses in generating leads, increasing awareness, and building brand loyalty through inbound marketing, digital strategy, design, marketing automation, and public relations—today announced that it’s founder, Ryan Malone, has been named a “Best CEO” by Comparably Martech News. The recognition underscores the fact that SmartBug’s® unique remote workforce model, along with its new Healthy SmartBug initiative, is having a positive impact on its employees. This is the eleventh Comparably award earned by SmartBug Media in the past two years and the fourth award for the company in 2019.

Malone founded SmartBug 10 years ago as one of the country’s few fully remote marketing agencies and has become a thought leader and evangelist for moving companies to a distributed workforce. The remote model has brought the company much success in a short period of time, as SmartBug has grown rapidly, expanding to represent more than 100 clients and employ nearly 80 full-time employees. In addition, SmartBug has been recognized for its achievements time and again, racking up prestigious awards such as: being named to the Inc. 5000 list for the third consecutive year; making the inaugural Adweek 100: Fastest Growing Agencies List; earning nearly 100 Marcom Awards for client work this year alone; and remaining the highest-rate HubSpot partner in the world.

“Being named a Top CEO by Comparably is not only an incredible honor, but it is also very humbling given the company I share with this year’s winners. It’s an important reminder that in order to have strong leaders, you have to have great people. We have been fortunate to attract some of the industry’s most talented and dedicated people who share an unrelenting drive to deliver customer results,” said Malone. “My ultimate goal is to provide my employees with challenging careers along with the flexibility to spend more quality time with their families and make lifelong memories outside the workplace. From there, everything falls into place, with motivated employees producing great results for happy clients.”
